My name is Dr Lynn Burmeister and I am a fertility specialist with over 20 years’ experience in helping families have babies and helping women preserve their fertility.
I helped Sonia achieve her pregnancy that resulted in her beautiful daughter Maggie after a very long journey of disappointment and pregnancy losses. Sonia was and is a very healthy person so it was not her health that was stopping her to achieve a pregnancy it was her age.
Women are typically born with 1 to 2 million eggs and by the time we reach puberty we have approximately 400,000 left. At 30 you have only 10 percent of your eggs left so you really do need to take care of them and your future. By the time you reach 40 you have only a 4 per cent chance a month of achieving an ongoing pregnancy.
